the northern and southern han chinese do have differences but not in the way you described. the southern han aren't just cantonese. there's many groups within southern han like hokkien, hakka, teochew, hokchew, hinghwa, cantonese, taishanese, hunanese, shanghainese, wenzhounese, hokchia, etc etc. these southern groups all had a history before of migrating over and displacing and/or assimilating previous ancient populations in southern china that preceded them before there. in china, those are called baiyue, but realistically, it was the ancient ancestors of modern southeast asian groups today. the northern han were the han that stayed in northern china and spread northeast and northwestwards and had other northern migratory peoples come over and assimilate into their population like mongols, khitans, manchu/jurchen, etc. etc. northern han mostly speak mandarin and jin now.
